KingMaker - let the Ascension War commence!

[Foodstamp]

Ah ok, I wasn't sure before where the 72 hours began or would begin. Awesome work moderating the game

[sum1lost]

I would like to apologize to all those players who I've inconvenienced. I got stuck without almost any internet access the last two weeks with very short warning, and unfortunantely, the forums were down in that time.

Let it be known to any scavengers of war that Utgard lays claim to the Sidhe capital. Our citizens clamor for blood and revenge and will let none stand in the path of the book burning horde.

Meanwhile, Two-Eyes has been getting a lot of fan mail and sponsorships after his arena victory a few moons ago. He has sadly developed a belly and is not in great shape. Seems he lost a bit of faith when he learned his mandate to fight had not come from Utgard's divine chunk of granite but a prankster ethereal sethkona. Nevertheless, we are putting him back into training and hope to take home another gold.

PS this post is dedicated to LA Agartha.

In my above the call of duty attempt to prevent players from staling, despite having several days to do your turns, I note with 15 minutes to go, some of you have not sent in turns:

M Ulm, MA Tien Chi, MA Eriu. I know MA Eriu gave up, as did LA Jomon, but the other 2 are conducting successful mop ups on ma eriu. shrug.

As they say, half the battle is just showing up.

I just got in my turn. I knew it was on Sunday, but not so early on Sunday it's actually Saturday (my clock is four hours earlier than the Llamaserver's).

But anyways, wouldn't say I'm too successful. Though my military is now in tip-top shape, I can barely support the 1000+ upkeep a horde of Black Knights, Arbalests, and assorted shield- and flail-wielding units requires. At least it's not affecting my gem income or research (also, my first Smith to die of disease died this month). Thus I'm full-speed for the Forge of the Ancients (which I'll get in five months, game-time). Not that that's very long even with at least two pages of smiths researching. Seriously smiths suck at researching and they're my best with drain-3, though I wouldn't give up my awe-inspiring scales for the world. Actually, yeah I would because then I'd win and not need them. Monny wouldn't at least.

Try to get an initial turn in well before the deadline, and fine tune it later. That way at least you will not stale.

And just in case there is a concern about the game hosting too quickly, quick host is off. So the entire 48 hours will elapse even if everyone has their turn sent in.

Sell me the gems so you will have the gold

So here you have the update province standings. LA Agartha has a tremendous lead in research, and the top nations have vast gem advantages over even the middle of the pack nations.

The complete statistical graphs can be viewed at http://www.llamaserver.net/showScore...game=KingMaker


Interesting tidbits: all 3 EA water races are alive.

Surprises to me: MA Ulm, MA Tien Chi, LA Man, are alive.
And MA Ryleh, MA Pythium, and MA Ermor, the 3 MA mp power races, all had early exits.

Not for long. EA Oceania is dying under EA R'lyeh troops/mind blast/sharks spamming. I will go to IA in 1-2 turns.
Good luck to the survivors !
